I've been trying to give her a bottle since about 2 months old, i had avent, then went to tommee tippee, expressed milk, formual, juice, nothing, all she wants is me, she doesn't like taking her porridge off her dad either, she'll have some but not alot

When she bites/pulls take her off the breast and leave it 30 seconds to a minute, telling her no, biting hurts mummy, be gentle, etc, and then letting her back on after that and seeing how she does. If she bites and she's taken off the breast she will associate those behaviours with interruption to feeding, and hopefully she'll decide against doing that and gradually stop doing it.
